Out of Africa, O'Neill Turns
To Washington for Results

Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and Irish rock star Bono have returned from their excellent adventure in Africa, each convinced that he achieved his goals.

Mr. O'Neill saw the woes of poverty and disease first hand, giving him the anecdotal ammunition so useful in public and private debate. He called attention to the importance of results, not intentions, in aiding poor countries. He demonstrated that Republicans have hearts, too.
